1.disconnected the CPS from the wiring
2.disconnected the EDIS module
3.confirmed continuity between the edis connector and the other connectors.Reconnected the EDIS module.
4.provided 12v (starter motor) and grounds ( body bolt)
5.confirmed 12v and grounds voltages at the coil pack connectors ( pin1,2 and 2.3)
6.Connected a 12v low current LED between pins 2 and 1 and pin 2 and 3....
I was expecting to see the LED to flash intermittently based on the EDIS firing at 10 BTDC... but the LED came on ( very dim) and was constantly on...?

some success with the new CS, a LED bulb on the coil clip ( pin2,3) gave constant rate of blink...so we are game on!!
Still need to space the trigger wheel...thinking of adding space by additional nuts between the pulley and the wheel...

i think my gear knob on the TR maybe either cross threaded or glued in place, as we could not unscrew it when we dismantled the gearbox, so i had to reinstall it with the cover and shaft in place.
I want to replace the cover now ..so what options do i have short of an angle grinder to shorten the throw in the process which i don't want\need to do?
I could make a cover and use velcro..but cant see that looking too good...?
